Crypto Empire Game: Play and Earn!

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

As @SpiritualMax waves goodbye to his second armada, the ships raise anchor with all of the brave souls who will colonize the New World.

The ships carry the colonists, supplies, tools and soldiers, as the challenge will be beaten no matter the cost.

The valiant colonists know this.

After some months of sailing through the open seas, here are the colonists who disembarked on the New World this week:

They are now going to join the already playing colonists:

Other than these colony leaders, more people arrived to boost the Imperial Outpost for the campaign.

The Imperial Outpost has the current staff in it:

The colonists breathe in the fresh air and prepare to take their first steps into this brave New World!

Refreshing: The Rules!

The game is pretty simple.

Each colonist has his/hers own colony. At first, it is lackluster of course, but with time they'll develop into profitable hubs of trade, commerce, industry, or even war.

The turns are weekly and they are made of 4 distinct phases:

  • Resource Phase;
  • Colony Phase;
  • Action Phase;
  • Diplomacy Phase;

In each of these phases, you'll have different actions available depending on what you have at your disposal that turn (that week).

At any time, a user can state that he wants his colony to be inactive so it is paused in its current state. This is useful if the colonist doesn't want to play or wish to pause his colony suffering no risks.

His steem and sbd income are safe.

Let's Start!


@Amymya's Colony:

@amymya ventured into the forest to forage for edible stuff.

She found some berries, edible mushrooms, seaweed and even a bunch of mussels.

While she was foraging, she found a spot with the most beautiful flowers, and she has been selling them daily for a total income of 0.196 SBD and 0.017 STEEM this week.

Her colony has only one mouth to feed since she didn't hire a worker yet, but is that wise?

She came back to her colony with food that will last quite a bit for 1 settler (herself)

@Anjkara's Colony:

@anjkara went foraging for food, but didn't have luck.

She gathered some herbs and some roots, but it seems her settlement's location isn't very rich in wildlife or flora.

On the other hand, she did notice it seems to be a prime spot for defense since she can spot whoever is approaching from all sides.

@Bluntsmasha's Colony:

@bluntsmasha couldn't believe his luck when he found out there's a water hole close to his colony's location.

The wildlife there is abundant, and though he doesn't have the resources to hunt yet, he is seeing the potential in it.

He collected some seashels to sell daily for a profit of 0.196 SBD and 0.017 STEEM total this week.

He went back to his colony with food for both him and the miner he hired.

Nevertheless, he was pleased to see so many trees, as that will be good in the long run.

He had plenty of luck foraging, getting fruits, berries, and even a squirrel.

@kryptocek headed back to his colony with his 2 new settlers, one builder and one miner.

The miner started working right away, and the builder sat idle waiting for a project to appear.

As for the colonist himself, he went to gather some food, but was unlucky. He couldn't find much, but what he did find was nutritive so overall it was an average result.

Being hungry doesn't help.

He also found some old nails he sold to the outpost's smelter every day for a weekly profit of 0.399 SBD and 0.039 STEEM.

As @phelimint arrived back on his colony, he puts his lumberjack and miner to work and tried his luck at foraging.

I'm going to add the question phase which starts right now!

  1. It seems like after you hire workers it takes them 1 full turn/week to even get started working, is that right? So even though i hired them last week, they start working now, and next week I'll actually get stuff from them.

  2. If i fire a worker now, then i assume i will get nothing from them even though i hired them last week? Or will I get production from them and next week they will be gone and i can hire someone else?

  3. On the action phase it says I can only choose one option - does that mean that if i order 5 miners to study new tech that i can't embark on a quest or order any other types of workers to study anything?

  4. One of the options in the action phase is "build". So does this mean that if I choose to build something in the colony phase I have to choose "build" as my one action in the action phase?

Sorry as always for all the questions but i'm still quite confused about how all of this works...it's holding me back from delegating more at this time.

Hey man! Cool questions.

  1. You order to hire on one turn, they start working the next one, resources processed the next one and subsequent. Correct.

  2. Fire a worker now and hire another you will still get the resources from the one you fired because they were upcoming. And you will have the new one start as if you would hire him normally.

  3. You can choose one for your (hero) the colonist. You can either choose one tech or perform an action.

  4. The "Build" option is if you want to build something with your hero. If you don't have a builder you have to build it yourself. If you have a builder then they'll build. These buildings are completed in 1 turn, but on more advanced ones you get more speed with more builders and you can choose to help them yourself. You'll be notified if a building takes longer than 1 week.

Thanks for the questions Matt... Good for another FAQs post.

thanks for asking these questions. I don't know how it all works either. I just assumed I'd hired a lazy worker :P

I choose for myself to forage for food.

I would also like to hire a lumberjack and have him harvest wood.

Also, I would like to hire a miner and have him harvest stone.

Thanks!

I will use my 5 wood and 5 stone to make the sweetest lean-to in all of the land, and then I will honor the death of the great @underground by eating a fine meal from the food I have foraged. Tonight I dine alone in his honor.

Ok for this week

Fire one forager
Retain 1 forager - need to keep a steady supply of grub
Retain 1 lumber jack - need that fire to never go out and increase productivity
Hire 1 builder and build 1 lean-to - need some shelter and some privacy if one of the workers is a strapping red headed female that needs to burn off some excess energy and for morale.

Action Phase
Build fireplace using the skills that he acquired as a Boy Scout and toast some acorns and nuts found in the failed quest.

Head over to @derangedvisions to drink some Half and Half dark and pale ale in memory of @underground

We talk about how Undie as he liked bedding Tavern wenches that he bedded a ladyboy once and ran out of the room shouting as he told that the wench tried to stick it in him!!

ah good times, good times indeed.

He is now poop fertilzing the soil near the Natives' village and will help grow the trees that will become future cornerstone of the Empire.

Resource Phase:
Hi my trade with @irwanumpal was mixed up, i was selling the 3 stone to receive 3 wood.

Colony Phase:
I would like to use 5 wood and 5 stone to learn to build a shelter.
Send myself to forage food.

Action Phase:
Send my miner to mine stone.

Diplomacy Phase:
I also have a trade offer for anyone who is interested. I'm selling 5 stone in return i would like 2 food and 3 wood.

I hereby order one builder to build a lean-to (and it better be a good one!) and my other four builders are summoned to accompany me on a great quest to venture deep into the jungle and see if there are any indigenous peoples living nearby.

Out of character note/question - @spiritualmax please let me know if it's a good idea to take builders with me on a quest or if it's better to fire them and hire workers from the imperial outpost or 1 legionnaire...the legionnaire appears to cost 250 SP and have 5 defense which is the same as 5 workers so it doesn't make much sense why you would ever hire a legionnare but let me know if i'm missing something

I also send a raven with the following message to the imperial outpost:

To his majesty, the exalted Emperor,

I have been in contact with some wealthy aristocrats back home who may wish to invest great fortunes into my colony and to support the growth of this great empire; however, they feel that there is currently too much uncertainty surrounding this new land to warrant such an investment.

As such, I am looking to you to provide guidance and protection to help ensure the survival and success of my colony in order to address my investors' concerns. I look forward to your response and am deeply grateful for anything you may provide.

Your humble servant, @yabapmatt

OOC: Legionnaires have 5 defense, they are harder to kill, 5 workers would do the same stats wise but it's easy to have them die, plus Legionnaires can be trained to use weapons, you still don't have weapons but one day you'll have them. Taking the builders is a good idea as they aren't great but do add 5 defense.

Dear Yabapmatt,

As the most promising colony as of the date, the Empire is thrilled to have your enthusiasm and your investors' attention.

As such, I'm ordering @eonwarped to stop collecting taxes on your colony for 5 turns.

That will leave you with an income of 1 gold coin per turn, which you are fit to use to grease some palms.

Regards,
SpiritualMax

Dear Emperor SpiritualMax,

News of your generous offer has travelled quickly and investment into my colony and the new empire has increased 150%! I am looking forward to putting the new investment to good use in the coming weeks. Thank you very much for your support, and long live the empire!

Your humble servant, @yabapmatt

Dear Yabapmatt,

I find it that your rewards will please you.

Cheers

I would like to forage for resources.
Can I study the fauna while I forage for food?


I do this in the real world... The best way to know what you should be eating and not is to study what the animals are eating.


If another colony has a fire, can I warm up by it if they allow me?

Will you also clarify are the rewards listed above in terms of sbd and steem; it that just added to the daily payout?

Hey! After you return from foraging, feel free to pop by our place. No fire, but we'll have a superbly built lean-to and a few warm bodies.

Good luck finding some vittles!

Either Forage or go on a quest.

I would like to forage please.

FOUL!

No way I'd ever go anywhere un-armed, not even in your skuttle-boats MAX :P

this is BS!

is that why my earning are down?
oops, Posting for the Undie account LOL

Hmm since this is a game maybe you can respawn and start back to square 1

i call dibs on your resources!

No weapon crafted = unarmed :)

LMAO XD I know... you left all your guns at home, silly. Sorry I got you killed and eaten by cannibals :S

Here ye, here ye!

We, the Colony of Truthville, mourn the death of @underground. He was a fine agent, but now he is barbeque dinner for the cannibals. This is totally unacceptable. The cannibals will have to be dealt with, and @underground's death will not be for naught. His name will be cherished for all time. A true hero.

It has come to my attention that the singing lumberjack I hired may have been an illegal citizen of the Empire, and he may have been colluding with the cannibals. There are some who even say that his actions may be linked to jeopardizing the security of @underground on his mission, which ultimately caused this unfortunate death. This matter will be investigated. This could be fake news, but I can't take any chances with my closest advisers being so close to me and my family.

Lumberjack, YOU'RE FIRED!

My lumberjack will not be given his pension or food stamps. He will be exiled beyond the borders of our colony immediately, and I will not be aiding any other colonies offering him sanctuary status. One day I will build a great big wall, and it will defend our borders from cannibals, and we will have a great colony.

Until then, we will be cutting taxes, and bring new jobs to our colony next week. One new job opening specifically. That's a 100% increase from zero right now. It will be amazing. There will be no increase to the minimum wage, to keep taxes down. This week, I've decided to hire an Imperial Worker, who is properly vetted, hard working, eats less I hope, and it will be a temporary assignment. This Imperial Worker is going to build a lean-to for my colony, and it will be fantastic. You're gonna love it.

In the meantime, I'm going to bring food back to the colony. We're gonna put food on the table, and it will last us at least until the next budget meeting.

We're also opening trade relations with our neighbors. I'm taking tariffs off the table, so we can trade one-for-one any resource you want. If you want our wood, you can have it for a fair price. In return, we want imports of Chinese food. I've tried it, and it's very good. We'll also settle for fruits, berries, nuts, and acorns, or something just as good, as long as it isn't made from human flesh. We are pro-life, and always will be.

You may now return to your labors. Thank you.

Best Comment Ever :D

I would very much like to build a lean-to in a high-up place to make sure that I won't get flooded when it rains. I'd prefer to build it in a bit sheltered place, so that natives wouldn't find it immediately (scared of the cannibals).

Is there a way for me to scout out my immediate surroundings (aka looking around) to see if there's a spot maybe near a mountain where I can build my lean-to against, whilst still hidden? Being against a mountain would also help keep my food cold and dry so it doesn't spoil!

Your colony is static, the picture represents it, you already have a spot chosen. Building the lean-to it is!

Ah alright, just wanted to make sure I don't get any unfortunate events ^^. Thanks for clearing it up!
